Skill level: ✂️

You've seen a sewing machine before, but you've never played with one, or if you have given it a try, you'd really love a little extra help to make sure you're doing it correctly.

* If you are bringing your own sewing machine to work on, you will need to understand how to use it. We will do our best to point out features of your machine, but we will not have time in this class to show you everything you might need to know or to troubleshoot problems. You are welcome to reserve one of our classroom machines at no additional cost, or we recommend that you take a Love Your Sewing Machine class first if you’re unfamiliar with your own machine.
